Flash Fiction - Barren Land

Karla wailed into her tissue, the pain too much to keep inside, she had long stopped holding back her true feelings.

Changed her diet, made sure she took her multivitamins, reduced her stress with Pilates and even tried acupuncture. The prescribed drugs had failed, except send her over the edge and place her marriage on the brink. Too late now, her womb barren land, her body beaten, yearning for what was not meant to be.
